bug: strange mounting behavior near the stack limit

[dmaskasky]

Summary

I encountered a strange behavior when mounting a long chain of atoms. I am able to reliably reproduce this locally and in CI.

When mounting the leaf atom of a long chain of atoms (>996), only 996 atoms are mounted. Testing locally I got this result:

 FAIL   jotai  tests/vanilla/internals.test.tsx > internals > every dependency (deep) should be mounted
AssertionError: expected 996 to be 7548 // Object.is equality

- Expected
+ Received

- 7548
+ 996

 ❯ tests/vanilla/internals.test.tsx:33:29
     31|     const leaf = chain[chain.length - 1]!
     32|     store.sub(leaf, () => {})
     33|     expect(mountedMap.size).toBe(depth)
       |                             ^
     34|   })
     35| 

Why are only 996 atoms mounted?
Why are there no error throw / reported?
